This week at Jazz Piano Skills, we begin our new monthly tune study with a harmonic analysis of Sweet Lorraine. Explore the form, chord changes, harmonic function, common progressions, and practical voicings that create the foundation for melodic study, improvisation, and solo piano development.

Stop running scales and start speaking jazz. This week’s Embraceable You improvisation development explores melodic pathways, target notes, and phrase awareness to build authentic jazz improvisation.

This week’s Embraceable You melodic analysis focuses on learning the melody by ear, mapping phrases, identifying target notes, and applying ballad, bossa nova, and swing treatments.
